lifestyle/wedding photographer
I’m Summer, your biggest fan.
Hey, I’m Summer — lovergirl with a weird soul, a wild heart, and a camera that’s basically an extension of me.
When I’m not out capturing your love story, I’m probably editing away with a giant iced coffee in hand, rewatching my fave childhood comfort shows (nostalgia is totally my love language).
What lights me up the most? YOU.
The people I meet, the stories I get to freeze in time — that’s what keeps me obsessed with what I do. This isn’t just a job for me, it’s something way deeper. It’s connection. It’s magic. It’s memories that last longer than we do.
I’ve been doing this for 7+ years now, and while I still show up with golden retriever energy (every. single. shoot.), I’ve learned a thing or two about creating experiences that feel true to you.
Whether it’s a senior session that feels like a movie scene or a spontaneous date night shoot, I’ve got the perfect spot in mind (and probably snacks in my bag, let’s be honest).
Photography is my language. It’s how I see the world, how I connect, how I tell stories that words could never quite touch.
I live for golden light, unfiltered laughter, soft moments, and everything in between.
And those old photo albums your mom brings out that send everyone into a spiral of “remember this day?!” — yeah, that’s the vibe I’m chasing. Timeless, emotion-packed, freeze-this-forever kinda memories.
If you’re into that — into love, into color, into chaos and calm and all the little beautiful things in between — then hey… I think we just became besties. ✨
Let’s make something real together.
- I’m the cool aunt, even cooler pet mom.
- I could live off sweet tea and redbulls.
- My middle name is actually Sunshine.
- I’m so down to travel wherever you wanna go.
- If i could go back in time, it would be to the 70s - duh!
- I’m an ally and inclusive to all <3.

Summer was amazing to work with!
From start to finish the process was simple. She was quick to answer any questions, so down to earth, and professional. We were looking for a new photographer and couldn’t be happier to have found her!

and at ease in her presence and the photos were stunning!

Summer, I was truly hesitant and not feeling confident when I arrived.
But the moment you introduced yourself and how reassuring you were, that went away. I appreciate you and the comfortably you provide!

Before the shoot l was really struggling with my body image and accepting
the way i look during my pregnancy. I was incredibly nervous, but the second I met Summer, the nerves settled and she hyped me UP. It is hard to believe the girl in the pictures is me! Not once was l uncomfortable, which l was so worried about prior to!

Summer is incredibly attentive.
and knowledgeable with each shoot. Her patience and attention to detail made all the difference. We've used her for a small family shoot and booked her again for our 10 year vow renewal this past February. I was so impressed with her ideas and input to ensure we captured every moment and included family members and guests as well as our decorations. I would trust her with any special event and can't wait for our next session.

A Shot of Sunshine has done all of our family
pictures since 2020 and I wouldn’t even consider using anyone else. Summer is great with my girls, always seems happy to see us, and is always so encouraging. At this point, she has become a part of the family. We love Summer.Wonderful experience! Summer is such a professional. She captures important moments beautifully.

I will never go to any other photographer,
Summer is the absolute best. Not only do the pictures come out amazing but she is a great person and makes every session feel natural & fun! She would jump through hoops to capture the perfect picture. I would recommend Summer to anyone, she is affordable and turn around time on photos is always quick. You can tell this is truly her passion.
